Well, I think I have given up on making coils. I one of those shorty cartomizers on my mini and it is doing fine. I have watched video after video and I have tried every build I can think of and nothing works for me. The first few draws are okay and then I get a burnt sugar taste. I squank and squank. It has to be my coil building as the carto works just fine. Maybe one of my fellow Reonauts can think of what it might be
I have tried 28 and 30 gauge kanthal. 3 wraps, 4, 5, 6, and even 8. Cotton, Ekowool, ceramic wick, and silica. Different sized blunt needles to wrap on, etc etc. I'm stumped.
Is there such a thing as a person being "taste sensitive" to kanthal? Sigh. The shorty carto is fine but I think the look takes away a bit of the classy look of the mod itself. I did have some copper tape I wrapped around the carto ( heh heh) maybe I can find a way to make a little heat resistant brass sleeve of some type for them.
Is there any place where premade coils with wicks can be purchased? If I can determine it is just my building skills, I can keep trying. Although my coils come out looking just like the ones in the videos. I pay very close attention to the placement also. I have a RM2 and a Cyclone. Seems like no matter what I try the end result is the same.
Am I just plain nuts?? Oh well I love them anyway and the shorty cartos work for now. Still just bugs the crap out of me though. It's one of those little things that nags you
